dDoinkster Speaks

I know the photo isn't really that clear but i think you can see this dumb@$$ talking away on his mobile phone while waiting at a petrol station. I guess the fella doesn't know how to read the signboards and the tv commercials that encourage us NOT to use our mobile phones while at a petrol station...and also many other things such as don't keep the engine running nor smoke for obvious reasons. If you have been following the TV series called MythBusters on Discovery Channel, you might say that they have busted that myth but they also did say that there could be a possibility of an explosion because of using a mobile phone while refueling. Check it out here. So why do dumb@$$ people like this take the risk and put everybody else at the petrol station at risk?

*note* : thanks to Dzof, he has pointed me to another article that's bust the myth about there is no danger in using a mobile phone while refueling at a petrol station. So i guess i've been proved that i was wrong this time. Oh well,at least i learnt something new. So one quick question..why do they put up signboards telling people not to use their mobile phone while refueling at petrol stations then? Just curious. Hisyam has also pointed out that while i was complaining about the dumb@$$ that was using his mobile phone to call, i was using my mobile phone to take his photo. So it's like 'the pot calling the kettle black' i guess.
